RECORD OF INCLINING TEST
Port : MSB (Majuikan Sdn Bhd) Complex, Kuantan, Pahang
Wind : Light Breeze
Water : Calm
S.g. of Water : 1.02 t/m3
T Aft : 2.45 m
T Fwd : 1.49 m
T Mean : 1.97 m
Shift of Inclining Wts. : 4.80 m
No. of Move Weight Moved (T) Direction Pendulum Deflection (deg.)
1 0.70 Port-Stbd 0.85
2 1.40 Port-Stbd 1.46
3 - Stbd-Port 0
4 0.70 Stbd-Port 1.26
5 1.40 Stbd-Port 1.34
6 - Port-Stbd 0
The average inclining in deg. was obtained for a movement of w (i.e. 0.7 T) through 4.8m. As w is moved across the deck the CG of the ship moves from G to G1 such that
Wh = x GG1
where
= Displacement of vessel in T
The centre of buoyancy B was originally under G, but it will move to B1 to be in the same vertical line as G1.
GG1 is parallel to the movement of w and since
Angle MGG1 = 900
GG1 = GM tan
Therefore wh = GM tan
GM = wh/ tan
= (0.7 x 4.8)/(166.03 x tan1.260)
= 0.92 m
SOUNDING & QUANTITIES
Tank No. Type of Tanks Quantity (T)
1 Fresh Water (FW) 8.00
2 Fuel Oil (FO) 2.67
FW Tanks : 5.4 m x 1.0 m Athwartships
FO Tanks : 6.0 m x 3.5 m Athwartships
After the value of GM had been calculated for the ship in the inclined condition a correction may be made for the presence of free surfaces in double-bottom or other tanks. The presence of free surfaces – the value of GM by an amount:
GG1 = (I x i)/( x s)
where
GG1 = the amount by which the CG of the ship is raised due to the presence of
each free surface;
i.e. the amount by which GM is reduced since M (metacentre) is constant.
I = the transverse moment of inertia of the free surface about its own centre
line;
= Vol. of disp. of ship;
i = density of liquid with free surface;
s = density of water in which the ship floats.

Top 10 richest Malaysians in 2014: Malaysia now boasts a total of eighteen billionaires, up from fourteen a year ago! Let's now take a look at the ten of the richest locals in 2014. As many Malaysians are well aware of, our country is going through a period of lows; our currency, the Ringgit, is weakening, we are experiencing a slowing economy and a lackluster stock market. All these come together to affect those who are earning a regular salary. But all of it is probably nothing more than an extra shrug from the guys on this list – if at all. In fact, some of those on the Forbes’ Malaysia’s Richest Tycoon list (ie the richest Malaysians, as of March 2014) have seen their fortunes increase as well, due to shrewd business decisions (amongst other things) despite economic conditions. Malaysia now boasts a total of eighteen billionaires, up from fourteen a year ago! Let’s now take a look at the ten of the richest locals in 2014.
